To all whom it may canoe/m:

:Be it known that I, WILLIAM Annnusnn, of the city and county of St. Louis, and State of Missouri, have made newand useful Improvements in the Process of Extracting the saccharine Liquid from Malt by pressure; and that the following is a full and exact description thereof, to wit:

The malt is brought into a tight compartment, into which I force a current of steam, water, or compressed air, by whose action the saccharine matter is pressed from the malt. 1

I furthermore attach a suction-apparatus to the lower part of thesaid compartment, to secure a ready issue ofthe liquid. I

Now, be it known that, I do not claim the action of water or steam on malt, which is well known as a means of extraction; but

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

' 1. The process of forcing a direct current of steam, water, or compressed air into a tight compartment containing the malt, for. the purpose of pressing the saccharine juice from the malt.

' 2. The application of a suction-apparatus to secnr a ready issue of the saccharine liquid, either separate, or in combination with the device specified in the first claim.
